Charge The Atlantic - Slow Fallin [Review]

July 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Commercial

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Dripping with a pure California vibe, ‘Slow Fallin’ is both a retro groove, and a modern take on the sand and palm trees that serve as imagery for the laid back spirit of the West Coast.”

    Ellen Krauss - On The Bus [Music video Review]

    July 17, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Singer/Songwriter

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The vocals catch your attention and draw you in, and the lyrics hold you there; not with extraordinary wordplay, but rather simply honest emotions.

    Ellen Krauss delivers a genuine performance, and the true-to-life lyrics of this single make it worthy of a listen “On The Bus,” or any other place.”

        Anonymous XI - Ghost [Review]

        July 16, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Straight up. When you’re talking top shelf — be it liquor or music — you don’t need a bunch of unnecessary stuff tossed into the mix. ‘Ghost’ is the kind of track that proves that with a straight-up beat, and a steady linear flow that hits with truth and passion and an underlying wisdom. All without any fancy embellishments.”

          Dope Lemon - Give Me Honey [Music Video Review]

          July 16, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Indie Rock

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “The melody is a perfect balance of danger and desire, and both elements are also brought out by the imagery of the video.

          And while the vocals are not explosive or awe-inspiring, they are perfect for the mood. This is a case of the artists getting out of the way and letting the lyrics and vibe do the heavy lifting. ”

            “Tight songwriting and a steady flow propel this ode to self forward with each beat.

            The melody is lifted up by guitar licks giving this one a mainstream vibe without sacrificing its edge.”

              “A high energy ode bowing to the desire to turn back the clock and go back in time.

              Thumping with a dance groove and a set of lyrics delivered with pop precision, ‘All This Time’ feels like a hit from the first few beats.”

                “The imagery of the video and the lyrics of this song combine to perfectly instill the emotion of this single. Theatrical and beautiful, the vocals are ideal for this type of song which feels could be the soundtrack for a crumbling love, or a divide in any type of relationship. Be it one between people, or nations. ”

                  Rating: 4 out of 5

                  “Slithering up on you, ‘Mamba’ is a track that sort of bites you unexpectedly. Some tracks wow you instantly and some are more of a slow burn that leaves you surprised how drawn into the song you got.

                  Varying vocals styles persist in this one from Loss Cozz, but still the track builds and builds both musically and lyrically until it wraps up with an almost carnival like sound, leaving you to wonder how exactly the sound got to that point. ”

                          Overall, this is a song that gets you moving with a perfect performance and a well-written set of lyrics.”

                                “I dig the writing and the vocal tone of this track, but I do wish the mix had been tweaked. The backing chant often seems louder than the flow, and for me that was an unnecessary distraction.

                                The message here is tight and meaningful, which is why I wish the vocals were brought forward and featured harder. However, these lyrics are so worth hearing that this track makes my worthwhile list just the same.”

                                  “There’s no moment greater than kicking it on a road trip with your mom. Sam Lex new visual is a candid recording of his trip with his mom aligned with a laid back track that makes a great song to play when you are cruising or walking on the beach. ”

                                    Leeroy Stagger - Strange Attractor [Music Video Review]

                                    “I have a strange attraction to this single ‘Strange Attractor.’

                                    The accompanying video is engaging in a peculiar sort of way, and the vocal performance, laid over the top of a steady rock beat, has an old school rock vibe that conjures thoughts of the 80s.

                                    Then there is a presence about Leeroy Stagger that hooked me and whispers to my brain ... “Pay Attention, this guy is on the verge of breaking out into another realm which makes this song feel like an archway to something even bigger.”

                                      “This is the soundtrack to anyone that has ever had their very own Stage 5 Clinger.

                                      Commercial pop vibes drip from this well-written song about what happens when affection is completely one-sided. ”

                                        “A track that sadly relates for many, but the fact is, people suck sometimes. This track calls them out with a fun, pop romp that doesn’t hold back.”
